Subject: Gerard Butler visiting Roger Dubuis Thu Jul 14, 2011 7:19 pm

I guess the tweets about seeing Gerry in Geneva were true. And I guess his mother knows he is smoking again, since she met him there. Looks like he'll be pimping watches soon along with his man cream.....?

The Scottish actor spent two days in Geneva at the invitation of Georges Kern, CEO of the brand Meyrin

Shoulder-length hair, slightly curly beard, tanned skin ... Gerard Butler is a seducer. No wonder its perceived adventures with (all) partners on the screen! Women only have eyes for him. And on the terrace of the Reserve, under a gray sky that looks like that of Glasgow, they are scrambling to pose together with the Scottish actor.

After attending the wedding of one of his friends in Capri, Gerard Butler made a detour through Geneva. He came to visit the factory Roger Dubuis - the mark Georges Kern, President of IWC Schaffhausen, took over last October with the mission to rehabilitate the image. Lover of watches, the Scot of course accepted his invitation to spend two days in town. Between dinner at Quirinale and a menu at the Domaine de Chateauvieux, he spent several hours in the workshops of Meyrin.

"This is the first time that I really see how to make a watch", says Gerard Butler. "I found it really fascinating! And I have even more respect for the time ... " The man did not hide it: he has an affinity with our country. His personal trainer for the film "Playing The Field (2012)" - in which he plays an ex-football player - was Swiss. "I also worked with Marc Forster (note:" Machine Gun Preacher, "released in September 2011), he smiles. "I feel almost like a Swiss citizen!"

Moreover, the Scot the opportunity to bring his parents. "They got up at five in the morning for their flight and their flight was canceled, he said. "It took fifteen hours to Geneva ... " After a night's rest, Gerald Butler decided to take them to the mountains. Gstaad, Zermatt ou Chamonix? He hesitated about the itinerary.

He was at a private dinner held at the la reserve, where twenty guests had bombed his questions. Man remains accessible. Friendly. Funny. And did not hesitate to tales during the feast. Including the famous abs of King Leonidas in the blockbuster he embodied Zack Snyder: 300. "Seeing the pictures, everyone thought they were false and that they were retouched on the computer. I can tell you they were really mine! I worked out so much for that movie that my muscles became enormous. And they kept telling me: "You are the king, you must set an example!"

Tipped to replace Pierce Brosnan in the shoes of James Bond, Gerard Butler, Daniel Craig finally saw him burn politeness. A disappointment? No way! "Instead of becoming the James Bond number 7, I had the opportunity to choose each time new roles and experience the thriller or comedy," he admits. In seven years, the Scot has at least succeeded in establishing himself in Hollywood. Like the Australians Hugh Jackman and Russell Crowe, he embodies the male, the real, able to bend the chest on a battlefield and to seduce Katherine Heigl and Jennifer Aniston in an American comedy. "Right now I am preparing my next role: that of a surfer, says he. It requires a lot of training! But, it's okay, I like challenges and I am not afraid to push myself. "

I'm sorry. Something about this whole story just cracks me up. Between that video touring a watch factory set to music for a murder mystery caper and the article above. LOL. It's so funny how he has to say these complimentary things for the press wherever he's visiting or for whatever he's promoting or advertising. Like for a while there, whenever he was in a city, he'd talk about how he loved it was thinking of looking at property there.

Now, he's a watch man (pun intended), and he has "even more respect for the time..." I just find it pretty funny.
